Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai.

Alai mentioned that the government should not rent offices to serve the people but should have permanent spaces.

“Governments exist perpetually, so it’s only prudent that government offices be permanent and meet citizens’ requirements,” the Azimio MCA asserted.

The land which is approximately 0.09 acres in size was originally set aside for recreational purposes before it was grabbed.

Nairobi County Secretary and Head of County Public Service Edward Gichana in a letter on May 7 gave a go-ahead for the land to be used in the construction of a ward office for Kileleshwa ward residents.
